Herlong Mansion (B&B)

Stepping onto the grounds of the Herlong Mansion is to take a deliberate and welcome step back in time. This beautifully preserved example of Greek Revival architecture, with its grand Corinthian columns and sweeping verandas, stands as a testament to the elegance of Old Florida. Located in the heart of historic Micanopy, the mansion offers an authentic escape from the pace of modern life. The experience begins the moment you arrive, where the quiet hum of the interstate is replaced by the gentle creak of a rocking chair and the rustle of ancient oak trees. It is an immersive destination for the traveler who seeks not just a place to stay, but a place to inhabit, surrounded by history and timeless Southern grace.

The interior of the mansion continues this journey into the past, with each room and common area meticulously maintained to preserve its historic character. You will find original heart pine floors, ornate fireplaces, and period antiques that speak to the home’s rich history, which dates back to 1845. The guest rooms and suites are uniquely appointed, each offering a distinct personality while providing the expected comforts of a premier bed and breakfast. A highlight of any stay is the morning meal. The multi course gourmet breakfast served in the formal dining room is both a culinary delight and a cherished daily ritual, offering a moment for guests to gather and savor the slow, refined pace of mansion life.

While the Herlong Mansion is a tribute to the past, it provides the amenities essential for the modern guest. Central air conditioning ensures comfort throughout the seasons, and complimentary Wi-Fi allows you to remain as connected as you wish to be. The true luxury, however, is the profound sense of peace the property provides. Evenings can be spent strolling the gardens, enjoying a complimentary beverage on the veranda, or exploring the charming antique shops and cafes of Micanopy, Florida’s oldest inland town. A stay here is a rare opportunity to disconnect, recharge, and appreciate an authentic piece of American history.
